Know Your Operating System Install Date

Here is a simple script that will tell you your OS install date & Time

Open Notepad. Just copy and paste the below mentioned codes into that notepad

file and save it with .vbs extension ( eg. OSINSTALLDATE.vbs ). Double

click that file & it will show your OS install date & time. Have Fun.

Code:

'Returns the Operating System installation date.
strComputer = "."
Set dtmInstallDate = CreateObject( _ 
  "WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
  & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
  & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
  ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
  MsgBox "Install Date: " & getmydat (objOperatingSystem.InstallDate)
Next 

Function getmydat(wmitime)
  dtmInstallDate.Value = wmitime
  getmydat = dtmInstallDate.GetVarDate
End function

Source : I've found this code a long time back. So I could not remeber where.
But I'm mentioning it in here with the copyright information intact

.
Don't remove that copyright information if you would like and use this code.

Other method :

Also you can also know your OS install date with this command. Just type it in
a command prompt window and press enter. Only for newbies. geeks stay apart

Code:

systeminfo

Here is the original site

you can also use this

Code:

Hey Mr. Linux Expert

. Are you using it on windows and saved the file with .vbs extension.
I've checked it with win xp and vista only. don't know about other oses.

it shows me system install date 05/07/2005 08:54:00PM, whereas i have installed XP 15 days back. system date and time are correct

^^same with me..same date 5/7/2005 whereas i installed about 4months back

no problem here, both script and command shows same date.

*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/16.gif OS install date - 26/02/2006, Time -06:57:14

but for me it show all correct, august 15 2007

I was j/k. don't take that too seriously. I know it won't work with other OS'es.

All those who are being shown the wrong date of 2005, are you a victim of rampant piracy in India?
